Members dunning-kruger Posted October 5, 2012 Members Share Posted October 5, 2012 DAMN! There is a goD! I was looking on craigslist for a Yamaha Pacifica after playing an amazing one at a pawnshop last week and gueese what I find. this beautiful yamaha Pacifica 812. As soon as I saw the Duncans I knew this was something special, then the Sperzle Locking tunners. The seller on craigslist said "its pretty much a piece of shit aside from the wilkonsons" All rigght DUDE....ITS MINE FOR 100$!!!!!! Case and owners manual. Damn, Yamaha makes a sexy guitar! heres a link to the Catalog this guitar is in, apparently its the best one they produce before you start getting into the American ones. http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/Documents/Guitars/pac1511ms.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yarbicus Posted October 5, 2012 Members Share Posted October 5, 2012 You scored that for $100?!?!?! Actually even better than that pawn shop 812 for $225! BTW, go buy that one for me and I will gladly reimburse you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dunning-kruger Posted October 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 5, 2012 She plays very well, and its a pleasure to have it in my collection. Here is a pick with my Classic series 50's. I think its a keeper, the old violin flame top exquisite, Its very attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ima keep it for a bit hahahahha but ill keep you in mind soundgardner. Aside from the 59 Duncan it also has two Seymour Duncan Vintage Staggered single coil pickups, Yamaha wasnt fawking around back in the day when they made this one.

I can't wait to hear more updates about it AND some clips/videos :poke: EDIT: Also, it is a piece of shit!

Members colejustesen Posted October 5, 2012 Members Share Posted October 5, 2012 I saw one of these 812W on eBay the other day... they were asking $550 plus $100 for shipping I bet if the price was lowered to $350 it would have sold very quickly!

Members Phrophus Posted October 5, 2012 Members Share Posted October 5, 2012 Very nice score. Congrats. (I do think vickno is correct though. Unless someone swapped the pickup, that's probably a JB in the bridge.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted October 5, 2012 Members Share Posted October 5, 2012 Nice. Get that black pickup ring replaced!! It looks so out of place haha. The pickups and tuners alone could easily be sold for more than 100 bucks, used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dunning-kruger Posted October 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2012 Its pretty much NOS, not a ding or scratch. The guy on craigslist bought it from his cousin who was given the guitar to him by his father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
